About this listen

As seen on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday

A beacon of hope in the face of our current world crises, this uplifting book demonstrates how embracing our interconnectedness is key to world transformation

In a time of social and ecological crisis, what can we as individuals do to make the world a better place? This inspirational and thought-provoking book serves as an empowering antidote to the cynicism, frustration, paralysis, and overwhelm so many of us are feeling, replacing it with a grounding reminder of what’s true: we are all connected, and our small, personal choices bear unsuspected transformational power. By fully embracing and practicing this principle of interconnectedness—called interbeing—we become more effective agents of change and have a stronger positive influence on the world.

Throughout the book, Eisenstein relates real-life stories showing how small, individual acts of courage, kindness, and self-trust can change our culture’s guiding narrative of separation, which, he shows, has generated the present planetary crisis. He brings to conscious awareness a deep wisdom we all innately know: until we get ourselves in order, any action we take—no matter how good our intentions—will ultimately be wrong-headed and wrong-hearted. Above all, Eisenstein invites us to embrace a radically different understanding of cause and effect, sounding a clarion call to surrender our old worldview of separation, so that we can finally create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.

With chapters covering separation, interbeing, despair, hope, pain, pleasure, consciousness, and many more, the book invites us to let the old Story of Separation fall away so that we can stand firmly in a Story of Interbeing.

Critic Reviews

"This is a revolutionary and interactive book—in the sense that it inspires the reader to think out of the ordinary. Eisenstein will be noted in antiquity as one of the seminal and pioneering storytellers of this new world."Publishers Weekly Starred Review

“It is rare to find, in such digestible portions, so rich a feast for mind and heart."—Joanna Macy, author of Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We're in without Going Crazy

“When I read Charles Eisenstein I felt as if I had just put on an extraordinarily clear, lucid, morally honest set of glasses. I see my outer and inner worlds in penetrating detail. He isn't just describing a possible world. He is helping us find our way to it.”—Vicki Robin, author of Your Money or Your Life

Stunning book, robotic reader.

I don’t know why they chose this narrator for this beautiful book when I know Charles is more than capable of reading his work wonderfully. The book is amazing, the narrator literally sounds like a robot.

Sparky

Loved it. Very articulate and powerful writing. First heard what was a life changing interview of Charles on an nz doco called "living the change". Have since enjoyed his other videos and books. I always prefer the author to read but you can't have everything :) thanks.

“A crack where the light shines through”

Simple stated, the most powerful set of words outlining the cosmic and profound interbeing that’s always been with us. We’re but a global heartbeat away from it reifying. Thanks for shining the light into my heart & putting it into words Charles.

The ultimate wake up call

Charles Eisenstein has really outdone himself in this masterpiece of literature. He calls upon us to question who we really are to discover that we see far more than the limited individuals we were led to believe we were by our society, that we have the capacity and ability to transcend the collective story of separation and enter the story of inter being as our fate tests in the balance. Stunning and powerful book.
